"CNN 'Violated Embed Privilege' With Sniper Video"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Being embedded with the U.S. military in Iraq is "a privilege, not a right," and CNN violated that right by airing a video clip showing terrorists sniping at American soldiers in Iraq, a spokesman for Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) said Tuesday.
"Mr. Hunter believes that the airing of that video serves as propaganda for the enemy in time of war and does not believe it appropriate for CNN to be broadcasting that material," said Michael Harrison, senior legislative assistant to Hunter.
"It adds nothing to the debate and adds nothing to morale for our troops that are putting their lives at risk and sacrificing time with their families to serve our country," Harrison told Cybercast News Service."

"Al-Jazeera Plans to Battle Western Media"
By JIM KRANE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DOHA, Qatar (AP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Al-Jazeera's taboo-smashing newscasts regularly vex politicians in Washington, but not nearly as much as they anger leaders in the Arab world, where the news channel has been banned from operating in 18 countries at one time or another.
Now, the network is launching its biggest gamble on its 10th anniversary - an English-language channel with an Arab perspective. Al-Jazeera International plans to hit the airwaves Nov. 15 and hopes to steal viewers from CNN and the BBC.
Feisty and sometimes graphic coverage of global carnage is an Al-Jazeera specialty, as is bracing commentary that has shaken up the Arab world and rattled the West.
"We have an edge over the other networks: We're already based in the Middle East. And we have a different perspective," director Wadah Khanfar told a news conference at the network's Doha headquarters Wednesday."
